Great Highway Remodel, Not On MLS, And Certainly A San Francisco Surfer’s Dream Home
I have word of a house, on the Great Highway at Noriega (the best sandbar on the beach right now), that is very much for sale, and very much not on MLS radar. Price hovering around $1,050,000 and $1,100,000. That is the view above, and here are the details below.

Inner-Sunset Sprouting Condos
Inner-Sunset, home to much good food, a few good bars, a few bad bars, the prohibitively expensive Andronico’s, and UCSF, will soon be home to new condos. On my block alone (9th Ave., past Moraga St.) there are two sites going up or planned to go up. One is adjacent to my deck, where I … Continue reading Inner-Sunset Sprouting Condos
City And Media Pounce, Developer Responds (Mike Krozier, Think One Rincon Hill)
Hullabaloo, hullabaloo, hullabaloo. That appears to be what everybody loves these days (especially when it seems to highlight more economic hardship for anybody…we’d think it easier to claw out of a recession if we shifted our focus elsewhere), and so it is no surprise the city (we’ll call it more the real estate obsessed readers) … Continue reading City And Media Pounce, Developer Responds (Mike Krozier, Think One Rincon Hill)
The Scoop: Seven Arden Estates Have Risen from the Earth
Some time ago, I noted the construction in West Portal and asked around the Front Steps for the scoop. Those folks on the steps always know a lot, and more importantly, they like to argue. We had ideas that the construction would yield five- no, six- no, seven- no, eight homes. They were to be made of … Continue reading The Scoop: Seven Arden Estates Have Risen from the Earth
Coming Soon! And, Coming Later!
Realtor Kevin Gueco writes a very sunny review for the coming soon Mosiaica 601 condo project (pictured above) in his SFNewDevelopments blog. There’s definitely some room for pleasant surprise in the announced price (pleasant to me, anyway, since I selfishly find all condos I cannot afford to be unpleasant): “Mosaica 601 announced last week that … Continue reading Coming Soon! And, Coming Later!
New Developments Face a New Reality in SF
I’ve heard from multiple sources that SF real estate is, for the most part, immune to the havoc wreaked on other parts of the US. But sales at our most recent condo complexes show that happy-smile-don’t-worry line of rhetoric is about as reliable as the clown’s was in Poltergeist (Happy Halloween!). Socketsite … Continue reading New Developments Face a New Reality in SF
An “Apple” in Noe Valley?
An interesting property was pointed out to me today. I hadn’t noticed it because I don’t have any clients in this range unfortunately. It’s weird that I didn’t notice it anyway because I actually lived at the place for a period of time. That’s a whole ‘nother story. It’s 4545 25th street. Purchased in February … Continue reading An “Apple” in Noe Valley?

Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Brutal! (74 Neptune, triple ended)
Adding fuel to an already hot fire of us Realtors making too much “easy money”, I came across this listing in MLS at 74 Neptune in Silver Terrace (yes, it is still San Francisco). Sold in January of 2007 for $498,000, buyer represented by Realtor TZ. “Tastefully renovated” recently, and listed May 2007 for $599,000, … Continue reading Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Brutal!

Holloway and Bixbee: new construction find
There’s just something about seeing naked wood in San Francisco that gets us all giddy. Maybe it’s the prospect of something entirely new being built in the neighborhoods where we live. Or maybe it’s the fact that when we see something like this, it is clear somebody had the persistence and patience to push their … Continue reading Holloway and Bixbee: new construction find
Is San Francisco still a Seller’s Market?
Without even asking the Realtor members of our Stammtisch what they thought, we could bet that all of them would consider our market very much a seller’s market. It appears from this recent Forbes.com article, we’re not alone in thinking that. And based off of his/her comments, we’re guessing “boomtime” would as well. (Thanks for … Continue reading Is San Francisco still a Seller’s Market?
